MACHINE BUILDING
SETTING INDUSTRIAL SECURITY STANDARDS
By Joe Lomako, business development manager (IoT) at TÜV SÜD A
s cyber physical systems are deployed, new vulnerabilities may emerge and a cyberattack can put an entire industrial facility at risk. Vulnerabilities include a lack of knowledge
about how to apply IT security protection to machinery that has not traditionally required it, as well as systems running legacy communication networks, with which today’s cyber security software is incompatible. Also, merging traditional ways of working with Industry 4.0 approaches can cause problems. Machinery suppliers and integrators must therefore optimise the cyber resilience of their connected components and systems, implementing security solutions from the start. For machinery end-users, it means that analyses, assessments, and tests should be pivotal in implementing appropriate security controls. For example, remote maintenance by equipment suppliers or subcontractors requires a connection to their network, which may be infected or have less stringent IT security.
Likewise, any existing machines on the factory floor, which lack digital identification and authentication functionality, do not have the capability for end-users to be sure that operating instructions received by the network are from an authorised person and not a hacker. There is also the risk that the smart tags on components or the final product being produced may be manipulated in a cyberattack.
OPTIMISE CYBER RESILIENCE Machinery suppliers and integrators must therefore optimise the cyber resilience of their connected components and systems, implementing security solutions from the start. For machinery end-users, it means that analyses, assessments, and tests should be pivotal in implementing appropriate security controls. As Industry 4.0 and the IoT advance, devices, systems and processes are becoming increasingly digitalised and interconnected. The widespread deployment of interconnected technologies has transformed the industrial landscape in
